TRY reacting to "I, Tonya" if you haven't already see it, it's a true story.
One of my favorite movie
Fun Fact: Joe Pesci won best supporting actor In this film.
it was a well deserved one! his acting was soo good!
@@MJoy4Fun cAN YUI GUYS REACT TO CITY OF GOD..ITS MY FAVORITE GANGSTER MOVIE AND ITS CRAZY ITS BASED ONA TRUE STORY..
@@phar0ahad3 is in our plan!! thank you for ur suggestion
.
and he had the best speech ever done
“City of God”? *Game over mon!*
Although this is based on a true story, the truth is a bit different, for example Karen was having an affair with Paulie for years, Tommy was killed but his body was never found and various other details that were changed for the movie. Still one of my favourite films, the acting, directing and the score are top tier. Enjoy your reactions.
oh i see.. i think the Karen affair was taken away to portay her as good.. and no matter what, she was there for him.. but she had to suffer and endure his affair.. but instead... man! i am mad when i find truth like this... so bad when they are being caught with things like this.. anyway thank you for the heads up
Thank you so much for the info update on Good Fellas cause I didn't know all of that. Good movie. I'm going to inform my mom with the Karen and Paulie affair update and that they couldn't find Tommy's body. Neither of us knew that. Thank you for sharing this information. By the way, Hope you are faring well during this time with COVID-19. Much love to you and your family.
Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi is a great book.
Carbone (guy hanging in meat truck) was not killed. In reality he was was helping kill the others.
@@MJoy4Fun tommy in real live a saw a documentary he was even more dangerous a psycopath u guys chech it out it had it coming when he kill the made guy....
To be made is to be officially inducted into a family as a soldier, which is the first official level... Henry was an associate, meaning he was not made... soldiers could run their own crew of associates... Soldiers report to a captain, who's in charge of a group of soldiers, which Paulie was... Each family has a bunch of captains who have crews of soldiers who in turn can have crews of associates... At the top is the Don/Godfather/boss... Beneath him are the underboss & the consigliere (counselor)... You should watch mob documentaries... It's crazy and it ACTUALLY happened and it's interesting
So it's multi level marketing.
Martin Scorsese's Magnum Opus! An absolute MASTERPIECE.
oh yesss
I think Taxi Driver and Raging Bull are Scorsese’s two best films.
One of the most interesting things about this movie is how quickly we are seduced by gangster morality and get into the gangster mindset. It’s a good example of moral relativism that is one of humanity’s shortcomings, and most of us are subject to it from time to time. We are horrified by the opening scene, but by the time we get to the events in the bar, we feel it’s justified (or at least understandable). This is reinforced by how we react to Tommy “going too far” when he murders Spider.
When Tommy killed Spider, that's when I really hated the character. Joe Pesci was great in the role, but after that I was glad when Tommy got whacked!
Tommy was crazy in real life (joe pesci) it was said that whenever he got a new weapon or fire arm, he would go out and use it on people in the streets for random targets..... they water downed the violence for the film but it was still enough to give you an idea how horrible this life really was..
I never get tired of watching this great mob movie. I know Henry had more problems after entering witness protection, selling drugs & such.
This is an FBI "Cream Dream" Movie! Rubbing Henry in the faces of the Families. This was Not what you call a "Mob" movie.
Sadly for Henry, he was only in Witness Relocation for a while before he and his wife separated. Then he got pinched a bunch of times for some small time stuff. Despite his lavish life, he pretty much died alone and penniless. It's a cautionary tale.
Did you know the guy who's making the sauce in prison is Martin Scorsese's father. He's also with the trigger man who killed Tommy. And Tommy's mom is Scorsese's mother aswell. (thats more commonly known)
ohh really?? wow didn't knew that! thx for the heads up
Hill continued to commit crimes while in witness protection and served time. Jimmy & Paul died in prison. He did a lot of legit stuff, chef, restaurant owner, and cookbooks he wrote. He also hosted TV show about the mob. He died in 2012.
oh wow. what a life
Henry hill was only ever a thug.
The mobs organization at the time didn't allow for him to move up but he wasn't really involved in most of the big crimes, once pinched the fbi have him Intel to use against his former associates.
None of the big players of the time have verified any of his story most didn't know who Henry hill was before he was an informant and those that did remember him being a drug addict and always short on money.
Great movie, but I hate how much of the story Henry a POS snitch who was a POS before he snitched got to craft and embellish about his life story.
Don't be like Henry hill in the movie and def don't be like him in real life.
As much a drama as it is biography, comedy, documentary, Aesop's fable, and extended music video. Scorsese has it all.
"Those people are sleeping well tonight." This always seems to be the moral lesson of his films.
I kind of figured this was part of his American Story series, along with _Casino,_ _Gangs of New York,_ and _The Aviator,_ that follows the rise and fall of a character like it's a fairy tale documentary.
Other films that I haven't seen anyone else cover yet:
- Jeremiah Johnson
- Three Days of the Condor
- Taxi Driver
- Miller's Crossing
- Patriot Games
- Clear and Present Danger
- Ronin
- French Connection (there's also a part 2 that never gets any attention)
- The Elephant Man
Millers Crossing is trash.
@@Buugzy Thumbs down huh. Any reason for that?
Outlaw Josie Wales
Road to Perdition is a mob movie.
The ending of French Connection 2 takes WAAAAAAAAAAAAY TOO LONG to happen and it’s not very satisfactory
I remember listening to the old Howard Stern radio show before he was on Cirius radio, and he would have Henry Hill on the phone on many occasions, where Henry was calling from some unknown location, because he was in the witness protection program. I remember some of their conversations being hillarious. But we have to remember these mob guys who seem cool in the movies are real murderers and killers who destroyed people lives, all in the name of business.
I’m not sure if anyone mentioned this yet, but the prosecutor at the end of the movie discussing the Witness Protection Program with Henry and Karen, was the real life prosecutor in the case (not an actor). Love your reactions, you two, it’s my new favorite channel!
And that prosecutor, along with the real Henry Hill, do commentary for the anniversary edition DVD.
31:13 That's the "Honey I love you but can we PLEASE finish watching this movie already!" face. I feel your pain sir. I feel your pain!
😂
For another great mob movie definitely do "Casino" (1995), also starring Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. Another good Joe Pesci movie you should do sometime is Oliver Stone's "JFK" (1991) where he plays the most bizarre real-life character. Great reaction and discussion as always, and based on it I'm sure you'll like these. 😎👍
absolutely react to Casino please and the two of you would love the movie 'Heat' as well 1995, has both De Niro and Pachino
The entrance into the club, if u notice, is uncut. The longer u see a uncut scene, the more difficult. It requires more planning
Great reaction. Check out the director, Martin Scorcese’s “Taxi Driver”.
Yeah, they should do it for sure!
I'm 50 now, just watched "Mean Streets" for the first time, probably seen "Taxi Driver" twenty times. "Streets" is okay, but that film is where Scorsese found his groove, soundtrack is great of course.
The newest joker movie has heavy “Taxi Driver” and “King of comedy” vibes
Casino
@@chillallthekildren Taximetrist
@@michaelpryor8015 bruh those are it’s two biggest inspirations bruh
You 2 are the cutest couple ever!!! I love how you both express yourselves freely and give insight to it all. You guys are cool.
Another awesome video Marian and Joy! While not historically accurate, with many inconsistencies, Scorsese did, however, capture the essence of the Mob quite accurately here. And the term "Made" means the official inducting of a connected (Italian) guy, into a Mafia Family. When they swear him in, in other words. ( :E
thank youu!!
oh yeah we got the ''Made'' word later on haha
Finally. Shes the first reaction that really unerstands the family aspect of it, and how it's appealing to people who come from hardships
It's just been announced that Ray Liotta from this movie passed away in his sleep last night while filming a movie in the Dominican Republic. 🙏 RIP
You two have good taste in films. Most couples just react to super hero crap but you're watching Orson Welles Citizen Kane, Goodfellas and The Godfather.
My suggestion for another reaction is Donnie Brasco, starring Al Pacino and Johnny depp, it is based on a true story about the mafia in a similar time period to Goodfellas
Donnie Brasco is rubbish
What’s scary about the real Tommy is that he wasn’t only psychotic but also 6 foot and around 250.
Nominated for 8 Oscars including Best Picture but won for Best Supporting Actor for Joe Pesci.
The film that won the 7 was the western epic Dances With Wolves.
I love you two together. Great reactions
aww we love u too! thank you
Great reaction to an all time classic. Highly recommend checking out 'Casino', another great Scorcese movie in the same mould as Goodfellas, again featuring De Niro and Pesci
30:53 The guy in this scene playing the cop is the real life DA that talked Henry Hill into the witness protection program.
Another good DeNiro movie is "A Bronx Tale". He directed it himself as well. Also "Once Upon a Time in America", if you have 4 hours.
My favorite mob movie and in my top 3 or 5 favorite movies in general. The actor who plays the waiter that Tommy smashed the bottle on, was an actual member of the gambino family. Same with one of the guys in the background at the table where Tommy is asking "how he's funny", one of the actors sitting by Henry, had ties to the colombo family. He was also in The Godfather. Also, the guy who plays the prosecutor at the end is the actual one in real life.
Great choice for a movie, sincere reactions, and a variety of endearing accents :) And I've got to add that both of you look great in this video, as if you are movie stars yourselves. And both of you have awesome sense of humor. I had the feeling I was watching this movie among friends, thank you :)
I've subscribed and I will be sure as hell one of your fans. Keep the good work.
The "made" guy thing means Batts was an official member in the mob . Pesci's character Tommy was not at the time . He couldn't touch him without serious consequences .
THIS IS THE SECOND MOVIE I'VE SEEN YOU TWO REACT TO(first was Forrest Gump earlier today) YOU TWO ARE THE BEST. I FEEL LIKE IT's MY BIRTHDAY FINDING YOU TWO. YOU'RE REALLY, REALLY FUN TO WATCH, AND YOU HAVE GREAT CHEMISTRY AND CLOSE FRIENDSHIP AND RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER! THE BEST ON RUclips!
For more De Niro: Cape fear (1991)
For more Paccino: Scent of a woman
"It's 2022!!! You don't want to f**K with Karen's!!!" I'm dead!!!
Mob history: The main actors were based on real life mobsters of the Paul Vario crew in the Lucchesse family: Paulie was Paul Vario, Henry was Henry Hill, Jimmy was Jimmy Burke, Tommy was Thomaso DeSimone. The guy they killed was William Billy Bats Bentvena, a made man in the Gambino Family, vrey close to Neil Delacroce, Fat Andy Rugiano and John Gotti. Very bad decision to just kill a made guy. Even Paul Vario was in trouble with Neil Delacroce and it was Lucchese boss Anthony Tony Ducks Corallo that bailed them out after convincing Neil Delacroce to give them a pass.
Michael Franzese talked a little bit about Henry Hill. He qas mentioned in this movie. Because Franzese was mentioned his wife refused to watch it. If you don't know Michael Franzese was one of the most financial Cosa Nostra member ever. His comment about the movie was he did exxagerate his performance. He also said Henry was a very sad Individual
the one who got shot in the foot, Spider, played Chirs Moltisanti in The Sopranos. In one scene he shot a kid in the foot for disrespecting him and when the kid was screaming, he responded "it happens".
The Soprano's has a lot of the cast from Goodfellas, so there are a lot of funny overlaps when you merge characters together. Billy Batts is Phil leotardo in the sopranos. The soprano's clips on youtube have the funniest comments if you stumble on them. never fail to cheer me up.
A "made guy" is an official member of a crime family. As apposed to an "associate" who works for a family. The difference is the level of protection. A made guy can pretty much do anything without the risk of death. He does something out of line he would get taxed. An associate has some protection but in the end they're disposable.
Great movie and reactions! A made guy is an official member of a Mafia Family. He's not just an associate or an employee. So within the Italian-American crime world the made guy has higher status. It's akin to the difference between someone who is a company direct hire and someone who is a company temporary hire or contract worker.
One of the guys portrayed in the nightclub scene during the introductions is supposed to be Michael Franzese. He now has his own RUclips channel...
Might I add, he's only in his early 70s which means he would have been a teenager at the time of being presented at that nightclub with all those adults. For that matter so was the real tommy
The loss of money is actually quite common. They've lost their main sources of revenue at this point due to catching crap at the airport. They've had to reinvest.
I like that the producers and directors didn't waste any time making Henry was likeable. He was an utter manipulative lying snake throughout the movie.
oh yes. this movie didn't tried to impress anyone.. only telling a story
the sad part is, when we found out from other people's comments. that Paulie had an affair with Karen... that made me not feel sorry for her too much
Made man is not the boss. He is simply a full member of the mafia and no longer just an associate.
You two have such good chemistry together it's adorable
30:52 The FBI agent was not played by an actor, but was the actual handler for the real Henry Hill.
Pescis stories he tells in the film are amazing. Just flow so well lol. The jerk off story when Jimmy says he isn’t gonna whack Morrie anymore is hilarious.
You should review "A Bronx Tale" & "Casino" both movies have Joe Pesci & Robert Deniro. Both movies are in same genre as The Godfather & Goodfellas, and both are based on true stories.
None of the main players were in the mafia. Paulie was the only person in mafia. Everyone else was his "crew" street crew.
Connected but not members.
You just made me realize the contrast between Spider's scene amd Batss' scene and it shows how out of control Tommy is.
Thanks for reacting to this! This movie is such a trip! Much love from MD
Good realistic reaction. All psychopaths. When the cops don't put them away they devour each other. Great movie.
I loved it that you guys figured out that this is the origin story of the "Karen". Hardly anyone knows that. You guys are smart.
The rest of Henry's story is comedically portrayed in the movie "My Blue Heaven".
This is a great one, right?!! It's hard to say which is better, this one or "The Godfather". They are both right up there as "best mafia movie ever". GREAT reaction, really fun to watch with you!! De Niro and Pesci are together again in a very similar movie, almost a sequel, "Casino" (1995). If you liked "Goodfellas", you'll like "Casino". It's basically "Goodfellas"....but in Las Vegas! Great movie!
How is Joe Pesci funny? Does he amuse you? Like a clown? He amuses you? He's here to amuse you?
Hearing Frencis say “You don’t want to fuck with a Karen” had me in SHOCK!” I didn’t know she cursed! GAME OVER MAN
The Sopranos who got out of line and got whacked: Mikey Palmice, Richie Aprile, Jackie Aprile Jr., Ralphie, Fat Dom, Coco, and Phil Leotardo.
The Sopranos who got whacked without getting out of line: Silvio and Bobby.
Watch Carlitos Way or A Bronx Tale next. Also a Made Guy is a full fledge member. Henry somewhat explains it…
They were a glorified crew, watch The Sopranos! It’s the greatest show of all time and Mob stuff, the guy at the end is the real Attorney
Great reaction! As others have suggested you guys should definitely check out "Casino". It's kind of the un-official companion to "Goodfellas", also directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Scorsese and Nicholas Pileggi based on a non-fiction book by Pileggi and it also stars Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci.
Love your channel!
When Frencis says, "Game over", I just want to die!!!!!
LOL
The book thus movie is based on is called Wiseguy.
That was going to be the name of the movie, but there was a TV show on at this time named Wiseguy.
So they didn't want to confuse the fans, and came up with Goodfellas as the title.
That was the real Copacabana they filmed at, on 60th street and 1st Avenue.
Next movie: the great heist film The Sting from 1973.
With Paul Newman, and Robert Redford.
Love this movie watched it millions of times still do, what I would do to live in those times 😂😂
One of the mobsters mentioned in this movie is actually on youtube making videos, Michael franzese
You two are a pisser! So funny!
Much love from Philadelphia! 😎
I chose this video because of you guys, not so much because of Goodfellas. I like watching the movie with you both.
You guys should see " blow" it's another true story of a guy named George Junge ( played by Johnny depp)
When looking at period films like this you have to take into account inflation. With the Lufthansa Heist $2 million dollars in 1978 is $8.5 million dollars today.
Hi guys and great review. You may recognize " the kid " Spyder , played by Michael Imperioli, who would go on to be ' Christopher ', in " The Sopranos."
The scene where young Henry sets the fire in the cars is rival cab company. They refused to pay a percentage to them so they torched all thier cars.
Joe Pesci in this one, pure gold!
The two little girls with Karen when their daughters were small were actually Lorraine Bracco's real daughters.
The real Tommy was even more of a maniac compared to the movie. According to Henry Hill, whenever he would buy a new gun, he'd go out and shoot a random person with it.
Henry Hill was real. He was a regular guest on Howard stern for years and mob never got him
This is one of the great movies of all time. Right up there with The Godfather movies.
I consider The Godfather posh Mafia and Goodfellas low rent Mafia. 🤣
ohh yeaaah. sounds well put ^_^
And the Oscar for best supporting actor goes too....Joe Pesci for GOOD FELLAS!!
Answering her question: "Made Guy" means that Billy Batts, man that Tommy killed is a member of a Mob Family (I believed that Billy is with Gambino Family). Like Henry Hill stated, you need a good reason and an ok from higher members of the Mob for killing made man.
Once a person(s), husband, wife and their children go on witness protection, their lives are not exactly normal. Moving to a different city or town in a different state, and a change of identities and social security numbers. For the most part, witness protection would just might last for a few years. When Henry Hill's witness protection was over with, he continued with some crime activity on and off, and doing some time in jail or in prison for a short period. Henry Hill passed away in a Los Angeles, California in a hospital on June 12, 2012 of complications heart of disease one day after his Birthday. He was 69.
"Being made" or "a made guy" would refer to the inclusion in the inner mafia circle, basically. However, as far as I understand it, you're in the inner circle but definitely way below in the ranks first. You have to work your way to the positions: Captain or even boss.
The funny guy from "Home Alone" Oh boy! Your going to have a big surprise. 😃🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This movie reflects the lower gangster life vs The Godfather - this is the "working class" gangster who have no real contact with the top guy. Pauly is a Capo or captain, not a Don. The Sicilian mafia can "make" a man only if he is pure Italian - that is why his friends were happy (until they killed him) which was mainly because he killed the other made guy without permission, and also because Tommy was a wild stupid killer out of control which is dangerous to them, draws attention. They don't want attention. If you are a "made guy" you are entitled to respect that the regular associates do not get. You can never insult or harm a made guy without being killed, no matter what. In that "life" the goal is to be "made". It's a very important thing, also they refer to it as "getting your stripes" or your "button" like someone high ranking in military. In the end most of them wind up with a terrible life in prison or murdered. Not worth it. Director Martin Scorsese grew up in a neighborhood that was in "little Italy" NY and very aware of these things, hence he made many gangster movies, and people like them because of the drama and money involved. You can see how they go up...then come down. Criminals are not the best friends to have. La Cosa Nostra or Mafia is like a government within a government, setting their own rules.
Aww this was a fun reaction. You guys are cute. 👍🏽 So since you’ve reacted to _Die Hard_ , maybe you can try 1995’s _Die Hard with a Vengeance_ - great film that more people should do on RUclips!
You two are fast becoming my favorites reactors,
Made guy = full member of the family. Pretty much untouchable.
A “made” person is someone with official standing in the mafia.
ohh yeesss.. and gotta be 100% italian right?
Love the reaction vids. Im guessing she is filipina? I love how she is so chill when she sees violence, southeast asian people are no pussies lol. You guys are a nice couple, looking forward to more uploads.
“The funny guy from Home Alone “
Hahah, boy your perception of him is about to change, still funny though. He’s a funny guy still haha
Great reaction. It's a shame you cut out the "funny how" scene near the beginning, though. It's one of the key scenes.
I have no clue why they wouldn't include that.
@@brandonfranzen5191 Right! It's one of those scenes people remember the most. Shame they left it out of this reaction.
Just about this whole movie took place a few miles from me on Long Island. I mean I recognize most of the places they were at and have been to them at one time or another. Idlewild Airport is Kennedy Airport today. There is a pretty big swamp next to the airport, thats sort of surrounded by a low income area that many a car and a few other things have disappeared into it. Never to be seen again.
One of the greatest films ever made!
I never wanted it to end!
Would love you to react to my favourite film, the usual suspects. One of the greatest endings ever.👍
I'll check it out!! thx
@@MJoy4Fun casino with robert de diro and joe pesci as well is like this one and the actor who played billy battes the made guy also and sharon stone i think it is even better then this one u guys should see it another great but disturbing movie about the mob just like this one
This film is just a breeze before a sudden slow death
Crazy thing is all of this is documented as fact in news media or police records. There was actually more things that happened they never talked about.
Original title of the movie was suppose to be Wiseguy, which is the title of the book by Nicholas Pileggi. Also Billy Batts in real life (the guy in the trunk) was not only a made man but he was also a close friend to John Gotti.
Frencis, you should apply for a movie critic job because you're so good as analyzing every movie. You can be the next Roger Ebert.
RIP to the actor that plays Henry🕊
A "made guy" is a member of a mafia family, Billy Batts (the guy in the trunk) was a member of the "Gambino" crime family. while Tommy, Jimmy and Henry were "associates" of the "Lucchese" crime family, so they worked with the mafia, but they weren't members of the mafia. now, in the mafia world a "made man" is untouchable! unless you get approval... and in order to do that, you first had to have a good reason for wanting him dead, and then get the approval of the higher-ups. otherwise, you'll be the one getting killed.
Mob guys like Henry spend their money as fast as they make it. They feel like there's no reason to save money because they can always go steal more.
Yeah I save money because I know I can't just always work more. I'm 36 and have always been in manual labor, never once lived in my own place nor dated
Damn this new haircut really fits dude
30:24 when Karen is walking away there is a don’t walk signal and one way sign. Meaning that she would of been killed had she gone in there
"The funny guy from Home Alone"
oof, you're in for a rude awakening xD I hope you do Casino next ;)
